I have only had 2 cute guys reasonably around my age start a conversation with me and that was a while ago. Now, only old taxi drivers will occasionally start a conversation with me and hit on me and that is practically it. I remember that there have been many times when I have been next to a cute guy (whether it is on an airplane/bookstore/restaurant) but he never starts a conversation with me. Additionally, I think of starting a conversation with them but they don't look interested at all or they don't even notice or acknowledge me so I don't even bother. What am I doing to not want men to talk to me or want me romantically? It almost seems like my only option is online dating.

We guys like smiles...A smiling face or happy face is more attractive than a sad, grumpy, unsure, or insecure face.
One says "talk to me"...the other says "I have problems, and I will make them yours." We guys run from the second face.
Think about it...have you seen beer commercials? Where guys are girls are having a good time? What are the girls doing? How are they acting?
Please...do not be overly sexy...sends the wrong message, especially if you want a long term relationship.
Just be confident, smile and talk.

 You talk to them. Honestly they might think you look uninterested as well. Show them that is not the case. Talk to them and see how it goes. You need to try be more outgoing and confident. That shines through.
